I mean, Black people here have been saying this since the fifties *at least* - pretty striking that so much of the public at large is only now catching up in light of recent events.
If you enjoy threads like these, you might enjoy my new book, The Press Gallery -- a collection of 500+ newspaper clippings on themes from everything blamed on the bicycle (and jazz and the tango and bobbed hair, and...) to how complaints that nobody wants to work anymore go so far back that maybe nobody ever wanted to work.
Unbound in London will publish this book -- they work by taking pledges to cover initial costs of the book. Pledge here to make the book a reality:

Fun with maths: if you multiply £11,000 by the number of working adults in the UK, it comes to over £300 billion. Since 2010, the richest 1,000 people in the UK saw their wealth increase by... yep, you guessed it... over £300 billion. https://twitter.com/SarahChampionMP/status/1637736187468083200
